Uma umuntu elala nomkayisekazi , wambulile ubunqunu bukayisekazi ; bayakuthwala isono sabo; bayakufa beyizimpulule.

Bonke abasondelayo abasondela etabernakele likaJehova bayakufa ; siyakuphela sonke na?

Ngokuba uJehova wayeshilo ngabo wathi : Bayakufa nokufa ehlane . Akusalanga muntu kubo ngaphandle kukaKalebi indodana kaJefune noJoshuwa indodana kaNuni.

Uma indoda ifunyanwa ilele nowesifazane ogane enye indoda , bayakufa bobabili, indoda ebilele nowesifazane nowesifazane uqobo ; kanjalo uyakukhipha ububi kwa-Israyeli.

Lokhu kuyakuba yisiboniso kuwe esiyakwehlela amadodana akho amabili, oHofini noFinehasi; ngalusuku lunye bayakufa bobabili.

Ngokuba abaphilayo bayazi ukuthi bayakufa , kepha abafileyo abazi lutho , futhi abasenawo umvuzo, ngokuba ukukhunjulwa kwabo sekukhohlakele.

Ngiyakubashaya abakhileyo k ulo muzi, abantu nezilwane; bayakufa ngesifo esikhulu.

Kuyakuba njalo bonke abantu ababhekisa ubuso babo ukuya eGibithe ukuba bagogobale khona ; bayakufa ngenkemba , nangendlala, nangesifo, kungabikho kubo oyakusala , aphunyuke ebubini engiyakubehlisela phezu kwabo.

Uyakusho kanje kubo , uthi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Kuphila kwami, abasezincithakalweni, ngempela, bayakuwa ngenkemba , nosendle ngiyakumnika izilwane ukuba adliwe, nabasezinqabeni nasemihumeni bayakufa ngesifo.
